The annual Silver Star Banquet is
held to honor the parents and support givers of graduating Cadets
as they move forward to become commissioned officers. This
special luncheon was hosted by Commissioners Philip and Patricia
Swyers, Commissioners James and Ruth Osborne, Colonels William
and Susan Harfoot and Majors Stephen and Marcia Smith. Led
by Mr. Duncan Sutton, the Cadets sang "I Can Go To God In Prayer"
with solo performances by Cadet Marjorie Miller, Cadet Peter Pemberton,
Cadet Jillian O'Brien and Cadet Willie Bland. Commissioner
Ruth Osborne gave a memorable speech to the guests and Cadet Clarissa
Ochoa gave the Cadet's Tribute. The Silver Star plaques
were given to parents and support givers who were present and beautiful
white roses were given to Cadets whose parents are no longer with
us. The banquet always serves a wonderful meal that is enjoyed
by everyone in attendance.
